PIscHRD DIT THE FAILURE OF THE DE-
PICIEscY BILL.
The S'gual Service is likely to be
sadly pincbed by the failure of the
general d. fiuisncy appropriation bill.
The deficiency estimate Tor the service
sggreeat d $23, 40. q large part Of the
total being estimated for transporta
ton aud mileage. The estimate for
transportation OF men and baggage
was small item, amounting TO but
$685., but the failure OF Congress to
appropriate that sum will cause much
emb arrassment, for according to the
sta ement OF the Chief Signal Ofiicsr,
Ii IL now impossible to movs q man;
even to discharge or reenlist him,
or to replace those who are
dead or dangerously Ill. The
term OF service of number OF
men has expir I'd, but they must bs rs-
tanned in the corps from lick of money
to send them to their homes. The
most serious consequence Of the fail
urs OF the bill, perhaps, will be the
continuance OF the storm warnings,
cod wavee, etc, at number OF i'm
portant point, owing to the failure Of
the item appiopristing $4,000 for
telegraphing and rp,rting these
wsrlings. So nearly exhausted ia the
sum now Svsi able for this purpose
that heavy cut must be made in the
service at very early day.
THE PosTMAsTKR GENERAL
cad today that the failure Of the de-
ficiency bill will probab.Y not in any
way interfere with the operations Of
his department, except to delay eetsb-
liehment of free delivery service In
new p laces.
